When I play keno, I only play 3 numbers, I've won much more playing just 3 numbers than playing 5 or 7 or the almost impossible 10 numbers.  I look at it, as not much different than p/3, except the odds are much better.  If your any good playing p/3, you just might be great playing keno. 

Just imagine your playing p/3, and instead of 1/1000 your playing 1/80.  What possible system or method do you think, you would profit most, by using?

Spot On with the odds-

Do you play live keno parlor, video keno or state run reno games?

How do you usually slect your pick 3 numbers ???

As you are actively keno experienced, check out my post in the keno secrets thread, be interested in your opinion-

Best Wishes for continued success.

I play video keno The wife and I play every day.  And have for the last 5 years.  I've always wondered why some of the tips used playing p/3 couldn't be used when playing keno. 

When I play, I keep close attention to a small segment of screen and sort of track no more than 10 numbers.  It might be just one line or a box and watch how they hit.  What goes around comes around.  Sometimes I use a mirror number, or plus and minus.  You can also divide the screen into 4 sections and watch to movement of numbers.  At times the screen might be balance with 5 numbers in each section, but for the most part, theres a movement like:  from upper left to lower right and then moves, sort of a rhythm.  I keep a eye on patterns or the lack, can be a great help.

Keno is sort of our "bread and butter."  We never play for a jackpot, we always cashout our wins, and only play with the casinos money.  There are about 12 casinos within 30 minutes of our house, and all of them give free comps.

Hey I think you are righjt the Odds are better. If a person can't pick 6 digits in  Mega lottery how can they pick 6 digit for Keno? I agree 3 numbers are easier.

It's not necessarily that the odds are better, but the payout percentages. The payout percentages on a video Keno machine in a private casino are generally set at about 90%, whereas the payout percentage of a Pick 3 in a state lottery are about 50%.

Thanks, good points John,

Aadditionally in a live Keno Parlor instead of playing against multiple lottery machines, those reasonably close to a casino, the live Keno ball game with it's visible single machine ball operation is really a better choice with  payouts & especially for system & past performance players. Additionally, the  player can usually request a computer journal print out of up to 1000 past games listing the number outcomes in their authentic order.

For those who're unaware of my previous posts on the subject.....

Government entities that offer Keno-type games generally have payout percentages in line with their other offerings - about 50%.

Live games at casinos, whether bouncing ball or random number generator powered, generally have payout percentages of around 70%-75%. This is because profits at casinos are generally computed as dollars generated per square foot, and live Keno games take up a lot of space, not to mention the number of employees necessary to operate the game. Live Keno is generally regarded as one of the worst bets in any casino.

Video Keno is on a par with slot machines - small footprint, no employees needed, low maintanance, and can therefore offer higher payout percentages. But what you can't do on a video Keno machine that you can do in a good live game is play the more exotic bets that aficionados of live Keno are familiar with - way tickets, edge games, high-low, even-odd, left-right, catch-alls and more. Besides, the keno lounge is a good place to just sit and relax.

I wish we had live keno, instead of video.  The question I have is, what method would you use to pick your numbers, like you were playing p/3?  The machine kicks out 20 numbers, would you take the sum of the 20 numbers, or high-low, even-odd, hot or cold and etc.  I wish I chart the numbers, I don't think they would allow that in a casino. 

Thanks for all your input.

To address the last issue first, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to track results in most casinos. A few casinos offer histories of past draws and there's even a site which offers live Keno results as they occur plus past-draw histories for some of the larger casinos with live Keno. I've never used that method, though. Search through LP for ideas - thay're there.....

I've always wanted to do sum and position charts for Keno similar to what I have on my web site for various lotteries, but it would be a rather large undertaking given the math involved. Sums of the 20 drawn numbers can range from 210 to 1410, with the midpoint at 810. With 3,535,316,142,212,174,320 different possibilities in a 20/80 matrix, that's a lot of math. I just haven't had enough time to tackle that yet.

To bad you couldn't have someone on the other end of a cell phone,  to run the numbers on a computer.

Hey gsc5, et al- Whuile this is not exactly pic 3 it involves a 3 number combo for Vieothat you might want to check out & a winner that is not in any keno book. Short Successful $$$ Signature Strategy: For a out of the box fun & potential profit game plan for live parlor or Video Keno: Checking past games live or VK, observe when any two numbers of of the 84-24-35 group occur simultaneously in the same game.; then play missing number from to 3 or 5 times. Ex #84 & 24 hit in the current game, we then play the missing #35 for 3/5X. Simple & Straightforward, not each & every time mind you but see how often it hits above the expected odds? Last time at the elegant M Casino I hit 5X on VK within the hour.. No Hocus Pocus, check it out for yourself ! Any questions? Let us know your testing or play results-   Peace & Prosperity Wishes, EddessaKnight

Good to see your reply PiraX,

In Las Vegas we have a network of casinos owned & operated by Station Casinos that have live brick & motar as well as Video keno games. Sunset Station is on the internet with live reults plus 1000 past games' outcome.

I personally know of at least one instance when a local player hit for 10 out of 10 for $1 million dollars on a live single machine at Texas Station on March 3, 2003 with these numbers:

# 1-9-10-12-20-31-36-61-66-80

On another occasion , know of another old time local player won $30,000  (confirmed) on a single spot #12 at the Boulder Casino, oh , although that's another story, it can validated with the Boulder Keno manager.

Bye the bye, you can find the Station Casinos addy and access same on line.

Good Luck following the little white bouncing ball,
